Paranormalni, transcendentni in drugi posebni pojavi: odnos do njih, stopnja prepričanja vanje in njihovo miselno razvrščanje (preliminarna raziskava)

Musek, Janek (author)

Zanimanje za pojave, ki presegajo vsakdanje izkustvo, je značilno za vse civilizacije, kulture in zgodovinske dobe. Raziskovanje teh pojavov je bilo bolj predmet religije, filozofije, umetnosti in okultnih ved, kakor pa resnih znanstvenih prizadevanj. Sistematično so jih začeli znanstveno raziskovati šele v okviru parapsihologije. Šele v novejšem času se začenjajo s temi pojavi ukvarjati uveljavljene znanosti, od fizike in fiziologije do psihologije. Pri nas doslej ni bilo sistematičnih raziskovanj v zvezi s paranormalnimi, transcendentnimi in drugimi posebnimi pojavi. V pričujoči raziskavi smo skušali s pomočjo posebnega vprašalnika ugotoviti, koliko ljudje verjamejo v obstoj tovrstnih pojavov, pa tudi to, koliko so njihove ocene o teh pojavih povezane z različnimi osebnostnimi lastnostmi. Izkazalo se je, da vzorec respondentov ocenjuje verjetnost navedenih pojavov zelo različno, od takšnih, ki jim pripisuje precejšnjo verjetnost (npr. slutnje, bioenergija, telepatija), do takšnih, ki jih ljudje v povprečju presojajo kot maloverjetne (npr. čarovništvo, strahovi, pretvarjanje snovi, vampirji). Pokazalo se je tudi, da na ocene respondentov vplivajo spol, starost in osebnostne poteze. Multivariantne analize so pokazale, da respondenti razvrščajo ocenjevane pojave v več skupin, ki le v grobem ustrezajo strokovno definiranim kategorijam teh pojavov.

Abstract

Paranormal and transcendent phenomena aroused interest and fascination in all civilizations, cultures and historical periods. They have been the subjectof concern for religion, philosophy, the arts, and occult learning muchmore than for science. The scientific research of them has been initiated with the establishment of parapsychology, and only recently they became the subject of serious research in well-established disciplines from physics and physiology to psychology. In our country the systematic research of paranormal and transcendent phenomena has been missing so far. In the present study, a special questionnaire has been applied in order to discover, how the respondents (the sample was roughly representative for Slovene population) rated the probability of the existence of listed paranormal and transcendent phenomena, how they categorize them and also, how their rating and appraisals depend on personal characteristics. The results showed a wide range in the adjudged probability of rated phenomena, from the very probable ones (such as presentiments, telepathy, bioenergetic phenomena) to the very improbable (magic, transsubstantiation, vampirism). Multivariate analysis of the ratings yielded dimensions and clusters that roughly resemble the official categorization of paranormal and transcendent phenomena. The results also showed the influence of gender, age and personality traits.
